Minor Bug fixes

We have some larger items we would like to focus on for a future update. We have yet to decide what that is going to be, but we will surely keep you posted. In the meantime, please swing by the developer chat tomorrow and ask some questions and keep posting in the suggestions forum.

In addition to the small update Patrick mentioned above, we are preparing a larger marketing campaign for Hardball Dynasty to coincide with the end of the World Series.

As you've probably noticed, we made some adjustments to the World Center page to make it a little easier for a new player to get into HBD.

We've also lowered the price of the first season to $4.95! So, if you have any friends, co-workers, etc., that have been on the fence about trying the game, please let them know of the price drop.

As an additional thank you to all our current and former players, we've introduced a $5.00 off promo for HBD that everyone can use on their next purchase. (it expires on 11/30/2012). The promo code is "KUNGFUPANDA".

We have more in the works beyond today's update and the marketing campaign. We are currently working on a huge update to our SimLeague Baseball game. Included are engine improvements, fixes and additions. These will be brought into HBD before the revamped SimLeague Baseball game is released.
